k first off no ones going to get mad at u for posting on a forum and second "pinching" the seat is done by alot of people like ryan nyquist for example, but some people cant pinch so they do without it. its different between people. whatever feels best

pinching the seat:

lots of pros do it, lately I've seen alot of vids and people aren't. I think it's just personal preference and ability. Again people like Ryan Nyquist and Dave Mirra use the seat pinching technique. The guys that don't pinch, seem to spin their bars really fast. They lean back enough to make most of their weight over the rear tire.

hope that helps.

about your cranks not spinning... your sprocket might be bent or your chain my be to tight. or you just might have your cranks too tight

good stuff. I'm just learnign barspins, and I find it easier to pinch the seat. *shrug*

im still trying to learn barspins its hard for me because im 6'3'' and im like to tall to pinch the seat because i dont like to ride my seat high and then my legs are so long its hard to get back far enough to spin my bars without hitting them haha.

Exact situation I'm in haha. I can't pinch my seat at all, I've got it slammed so it comes 2/3rds of the way up my shins.

yeah i dont pinch my seat and im 6'2'' and it seems to work out fine for me. How i learned how to do it was dont fully bunnyhop to just a little level hop off the ground and follow the bars with the back of the throwing hand it works wonders for me
